A Safe Place of Support
"Aliveness has been a support in healthcare, both mental and physical and has given me a place to join a community and further my leadership skills.
My life is healthier, less scary, and highly empowered because of The Aliveness Project."
- Alex
A Community of Friends
"I volunteer to honor my friend Marc, who died 20 years ago from complications related to AIDS. Volunteering has given me a community and I was welcomed from the very beginning.
Volunteering at Aliveness also pushes me to learn more about the issues that people living with HIV face, like addiction, mental health, and housing."
- Peggy
